However there's a major issue with SSDs. SSDs keep their data for ~10 years, which is a lot shorter than most people realize. "Spinning rust" will remain operational for longer and should keep the data for at least a century. You cannot have data on SSDs for backup or data hoarding.

I get that spinning rust is put to shame by CD or DVD (even writable ones), but still.
